Rarity only wished for a knight in shining armours to come and save her from some mortal dangers. Her experience with the nobility at the Grand Galloping Gala left her with a sour taste. Until one day she was ready to give up her dream and move on.

It was the day she was saved by a knight, the one she deserved, not the one she wished for.

The mane six are about to find out hard, and how wonderful, high school can be when love is in the air. There will be crushes, heartbreak, shipping and a whole lot of outright strangeness.

So yea, another story set in a high school. I don't know why but I just really love this setting. The only ship that I will reveal at this point in time is Flutterdash. As always, if you ever notice any spelling or grammar mistakes please tell me.

Special thanks to BronyInvestigator for drawing the cover art. You can see more of their stuff here and here.

It wasn't the end of the world right? It's not like she'd meant anything by it. What was so wrong with a little "Just Friends" kiss? Oh, who was she kidding?
Rainbow Dash was so screwed. She didn't mean for it to happen. Now she would have to deal with the fallout. Of course, she could just avoid everypony until the end of existence. A girl has to keep her options open.

Rated for naughty language.

Rainbow Dash wakes up to discover that something very important has been taken from her, something noticeable and humiliating. She tries to sneak into town without being noticed.

When her ailment is discovered by the Cutie Mark Crusaders, a certain orange pegasus helps Rainbow Dash discover that sometimes the greatest generosity comes in the smallest of packages...

...or so she thinks.

[A/N] This is random as hell. I hope you enjoy. And yes, the title is a pun on the book "The Ox-Bow Incident" by Walter Van Tilburg Clark.

Companion story to Souldin's Open To Interpretation

Rarity, Twilight and Applejack discuss one certain moment during the fight scene against the Changelings between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, in wonder of what REALLY happened. But what of Pinkie's mention of the two Pegasi snuggling together, nibbling each other's ears, and getting all lovey-dovey?

Here's what was going on all along with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy!

Fluttershy is having a tough summer day. She knew, of course, that there wasn't a chance for anything between her and Rainbow, but having her hopes dashed by an off-hoof comment before she even dared voice them...

...is exactly the kind of stupid mistake Dash makes. Act first, think later is all well and good when she's only looking out for herself, but it's precisely the reason why she shouldn't date her best friend. After all, Fluttershy is a gentle soul, considerate, easily offended...

...and not as weak as she seems. She'll do anything to prove it, to be worthy of Rainbow's attentions, to become...

...the one pony Dash might just trust her heart with this whole "romance" thing. Because she has no idea what's going on, or even if she's got those kind of feelings. After all, Fluttershy wouldn't hurt a fly and they...

...no matter what happens, she and Rainbow...

will always be friends.

After a visit from Cadance and Shining Armor, Twilight realizes how little she understands romantic love and decides to do -what else?- some research. But she has to learn a lot quicker than she expected, for Princess Celestia has invited Twilight and her friends to a Hearts and Hooves Gala- and they're expected to bring dates!

What follows is a chaotic set of events in which hearts are broken, crushes are acted upon, cakes explode, and the very foundation of the Mane 6 is rocked to its core.

My first fic, so don't expect any spectacular writing. I've got a vague idea of the relationships, but things may change, as I'm trying to let things be organic. Assume nothing.

Rainbow Dash is in love. Let's get that out of the way. But when she approaches her friends for advice, she finds that the lessons they impart might not be worth the trouble... or are they? As the murky undercurrents of personal motivations start to get in the way, Rainbow finds that sometimes, advice comes with a price, and sometimes, secrets are more than just two layers deep...

-Cancelled until further notice-

Hearth’s Warming is a special time of year: a time for giving, a time for receiving, and a time for friendship. And for some, a time of great romance, second only to Hearts and Hooves day. Many a couple will spend the cold winter nights curled up in front of fireplaces all over Equestria. This year, Fluttershy is determined to make something of it. She knows who she would like to spend the winter months with. All she needs now is the courage to ask the bravest, fastest, most amazing pegasus in all of Equestria, out on a date.

Rarity is alone on Hearts and Hooves Day, and she's not happy about it. A friendly afternoon in the park with Applejack promises to turn their friendship to something more – or at least it would, if either of them would simply talk to the other about it.

Between her awkward sort-of romance with Applejack, her desire to help Fluttershy find a special somepony of her very own, family, friends, and the general day-to-day chaos that is life in Ponyville, this fashionista's got her hooves full.
